2025 Sea-Doo RXP-X 325 Review

Introduction

The Sea-Doo RXP-X line carries over the legacy of the iconic 2-stroke Sea-Doo XP series.

Manufactured from 1991 through 2004, the Sea-Doo XP became one of the most popular high-performance PWCs.

Even though it was designed for competition, it became the number-one choice of many performance-minded recreational riders.

Over the years, the XP had undergone many changes and upgrades and was phased out by the 4-stroke, supercharged RXP 4-TEC (a.k.a. RXP 215) in 2004.

The RXP line was upgraded with the more advanced RXP-X 255 in 2008 and the all-new RXP-X-260 in 2012.

The latter was an award-winning PWC, utilizing the all-new T3 hull and Rotax 1503 4-TEC engine.

The next big milestone in the RXP history was the RXP-X 300 with the revamped T3-R platform and the 300hp, Rotax 1603 ACE engine.

In 2024, this engine got some performance upgrades, and the RXP-X 325 was born.

(Unlike the power source, the hull and most other featured were carried over from the 300 model.)

Let’s drill into the details and talk about the key specifications and features of the RXP-X 325 in detail:

Hull and Top Deck

As we’ve discussed, the RXP-X 325 is built on the fiberglass T3-R platform, which is a more advanced version of its T3 predecessor.

Interestingly, this shell is the same size as the Recreation GTI hull, but they are completely different animals.

While the GTI is designed with comfort and predictability in mind, the T3-R is a purpose-built racing PWC platform.

In terms of dimensions, the RXP-X 325 measures 130.7 inches in length, 49.2 inches in width, and 44 inches in height.

Its dry weight is 778 pounds, which increases to about 900 pounds with a battery and liquids.

Sitting on a trailer and loaded with some personal gear, you can expect its trailering weight to be anywhere from 1,150-1,300 pounds.

Unlike the spacious ST3-based RXT-X and GTX models, the RXP-X offers significantly less deck space.

Fitted with an Ergolock-R racing seat, it looks more like a solo machine than a multi-person PWC.

Despite this, it can legally carry two riders and some gear up to 400 pounds.

Its 40.4-gallon storage capacity includes a 37.78-gallon front storage bin and a spacious 2.56-gallon glovebox, which also houses a watertight phone compartment.

It also comes with the standard 18.5-gallon fuel cell, which is commonly used in many full-size Sea-Doos.

Just like its touring counterpart, the RXT-X 325, the RXP-X 325 is also available with “Lava Red” and “Metallic Tan” color schemes in 2025.

Features

The innovative RXP-X 325 comes with a plethora of performance features and accessories, many of which are inspired by aftermarket tuner kits.

One of the most exciting of these is arguably the hydraulically-dampened steering system, which has been carried over from the limited edition RXP-X 300 Apex.

Other race-inspired features include the Ergolock-R cockpit with a racing seat, carbon fiber hood, and the X-performance package.

The latter includes the X-sponsons, extended VTS, and a polished impeller.

Other standard features of the 2025 RXP-X 325 include:

• Ergolock R racing seat
• Knee pads
• LinQ attachment system
• Front storage bin
• Glovebox
• Watertight phone compartment
• BRP Audio – premium system (optional)
• USB Port (optional)
• Low-rise racing handlebars
• Hydraulic Steering Damper
• Tow hook
• Extended VTS
• Wide-angle mirrors
• Round handle grips
• Footwell carpets
• iBR Intelligent Brake & Reverse
• RF D.E.S.S key
• Large swim platform
• Stainless polished impeller
• X-sponsons
• Double-angled footwell wedges
• Carbon fiber hood

When it comes to the dashboard, the RXP-X 325 comes standard with a 7.6-inch wide digital display.

Its more advanced version, the panoramic 7.8-inch wide LCD display is also available as an option. (It comes as part of the optional Tech Package.)

In a nutshell, the main gauge functions of the RXP-X 325 are as follows:

• BRP Connect (opt.)
• Music (opt.)
• Navigation (opt.)
• Bluetooth connectivity (opt.)
• Fuel consumption (opt.)
• Speedometer
• RPM
• Clock
• VTS
• Fuel autonomy
• Top speed and average speed
• Vehicle hours
• Sport Mode
• ECO Mode
• Slow Mode
• Speed Regulator
• Launch control

Engine

The latest RXP-X 325 is powered by the high-end Rotax 1630 ACE 325 engine. As the name suggests, this supercharged 4-stroke, 1630cc triple is rated at 325hp.

It’s based on the Rotax 1630 ACE 300 variant but enjoys many performance upgrades and a redesigned, faster-spinning supercharger.

Besides its redesigned supercharger, intake, and engine management system, it enjoys many advanced technologies, including:

• Closed-loop cooling system (CLCS)
• Dry sump lubrication system
• VTS (Variable Trim System)
• Exhaust system: D-Sea-Bel System
• iTC Throttle system
• IBR – Intelligent Brake & Reverse
• RF D.E.S.S Key

You can find the same power source in the RXT-X 325 and the flagship GTX Limited 325 as well.

Unfortunately, only the latter comes with an iDF debris removal system, so the RXP-X and RXT-X lack this useful feature.

Performance

Sea-Doo advertises its RXP-X 325 as the fastest stock PWC in the marketplace, and this is not just a marketing slogan.

The claimed 0-60 mph time of the ski is 3.4 seconds, while it can reach its top speed of 67-69 mph in 6.5-7 seconds.

This top speed is electronically limited by the factory, but this restriction can be overridden.

Without the factory speed governor, the RXP-X 325 tops out at 80 mph, which can be further increased to 83-85 mph by installing aftermarket performance kits.

For closed-course racing, of course.

Besides its incredible power, this Sea-Doo is also known for a great rough water performance.

Its well-designed deep-V hull remains predictable and cuts through the chop with ease. In contrast, the ST3-based Sea-Doos are prone to producing bow hunt in rough water conditions.

In the corners, the RXP-X 325 can literally turn on a dime while the Ergolock cockpit effectively “locks” you in the saddle.

This is no surprise since this platform is designed for buoy racing.

Beginners appreciate the Slow and ECO modes, while experienced riders can take advantage of the Sport and Launch modes.

Drawbacks?

First, this ski is designed with PWC racing in mind, so it offers optimal performance with only one person onboard.

Riding it with a passenger is like riding a supersport motorcycle, the extra weight can completely change its handling and attitude.

Therefore, the RXP-X is primarily recommended for solo rides. If you’re considering riding with passengers regularly, you may want to consider an RXT-X or a GTX model instead.

It’s also good to know that the RXP-X lacks adjustable handlebars, which means riding it in a standing position is not very comfortable.

This can be an issue on rough waters when you try to dampen the negative effects of the waves with your knees.

Another weakness of the RXP-X 325 is its poor fuel economy, as its thirsty engine can consume about 20-25 gph if you are riding the ski hard.

It converts to a mileage of 2.8-3.4 mpg and an estimated fuel range of 45-55 miles.

With sensible throttle use, its fuel consumption can be tamed back to a moderate 4-5 gph.

But who will use the throttle “sensibly” on such an aggressive Sea-Doo?

Takeaways

The Sea-Doo RXP-X 325 is the fastest race-ready PWC out of the box.

It’s built on the nimble and aggressive T3-R platform and houses the 325hp version of the supercharged Rotax 1630 ACE engine.

Thanks to its industry-leading engine power and race-inspired features, the RXP-X 325 can reportedly reach 60 mph in 3.4 seconds.

Its top speed is electronically limited to 67-69 mph but this restriction can be overridden with an aftermarket modification.

Besides its extreme speed, the RXP-X is also known for its outstanding cornering abilities and great rough water handling.

In 2025, the starting price of the RXP-X 325 is $19,499, which is a $300 increase over the previous year.
